Ladder Safety

It's time to put those Christmas Lights up, clean the gutters, trim the trees. This time of year is when a lot of people use a ladder to elevate themselves up to do work. Don't be like the guys in the picture, this is an accident waiting to happen.

"Falls are by far the leading cause of home injury fatalities. The safest wayto climb indoors and out is to use a safe and sturdy ladder. Whether you’respring cleaning, hanging decorations or painting, the same basic laddersafety rules apply." This is a clip from an article I put together on Ladder Safety.
